Показать описание
Santorini | The history : Santorini is a scenic volcanic island in the middle of the Aegean Sea, about 250 kilometres southwest of Athens. The island is what is left of a colossal volcanic explosion 3,500 years ago that wiped out a flourishing prehistoric civilization.

The original name of Santorini is Thera, and by that name it was settled anew in classical times and prospered through the ages to be an important centre of Aegean shipping and trade. Santorini is a corruption of Santa Irene, or Saint Irene, which is what the Venetians called it in the Middle Ages.
